Legal Services
Marquardt Law Firm team’s mission is to empower our clients to tax-efficiently protect and preserve assets, reduce family conflict, and maximize government benefits. Elder law attorneys walk with elderly clients and their adult children through the Medicaid and Veteran’s Aid and Attendance application process so our clients can maximize the tax dollars they have already paid during their working years, which helps our clients save money and allows the government to cover the high cost of long term extended care. Visit the law firm’s website.
